DARKFRAME — Lost Footage v1 (preview)

Preview release. This checkpoint is early access: weights, training recipe, and base-model pairing may change. Use it to experiment and leave feedback—it is not positioned as a locked, production-frozen LoRA yet. Updates ship on darkframeai on Hugging Face and via Darkframe.

Weights tuned for found-footage horror and are currently best for environments*: sickly night-vision greens, tape damage, scan lines, grain, and the claustrophobic “discovered recording” look—hallways that go too far, rooms lit by a CRT or a blown-out doorway, frames that feel like evidence.

Use it when you want outputs to have that analog footage feel rather than clean studio renders.

Part of the DARKFRAME Horror LoRA series by Darkframe AI, the only AI creative platform built specifically for horror.

Prompting tips

In testing, setting scale between 1.2 - 1.4 works well.

Trigger word: darkframe_analog

We did not include HUD/REC overlays that are typically found on found footage film as this caused aesthetic issues during training.

• HUD REC Overlays: analog film,REC indicator, timestamp overlay.
• Place: abandoned hospital, strip-lit hall, peeling walls, dark doorway, empty gurney, flickering fluorescent—anything that sells location as witness.
• Tone: Keep lighting wrong on purpose: one harsh source, pools of black, no glam key.
